摘要:
An alkylidene carbene 1,5-CH insertion has been used as a key step in an enantioselective total syntheses of omuralide, its C7-epimer, and (+)-lactacystin. An additional noteworthy feature of the synthesis is the use of a novel oxidative deprotection procedure, utilizing DMDO, for the conversion of a late-stage benzylidene acetal into a primary alcohol and a secondary benzoate ester.
